ALESSIA'S POVIt took about twenty more minutes to regain myself.All those while, he remained standing, eyes on me.I opened my mouth to say a word, but I couldn't. It felt as if my tongue had been tied against the walls of my mouth.Everything felt like a movie or rather, a book. A dark romance book where the ML is a stalker and would stalk the FL even if she hides in hell.That wasn't a life I pictured for myself.I can't let a stranger I know nothing about ruin my normal life and turn me into an abnormal woman.“ What do you want from me again?” My voice came out in a frustrated sigh.I was tired of everything, but this devil's heir was making it even worse.“ YOU” he drawled in a low and menacing tone.I cocked an eyebrow, trying to wrap my head around what he meant.I just wish whatever he was trying to get from me, doesn't break me into pieces in the end.“ I don't understand. Can you broaden my horizons?” I asked, standing to my feet with my hands folded under by boobs.“ I s
ALESSIA'S POVMy jaw dropped and my core throbbed.The fact that his dirty words make me wet, annoys the hell out of me.For heaven's sake, he is a stranger.Someone I know nothing about.“ My virginity has nothing to do with you, dick head. So get out of my house.” I gritted my teeth.“ And what if I don't?” He cocked an eyebrow, his eyes dark.“ I will call the cops on you.”“ You should have done that a while ago, but you didn't.” He said, his voice carrying a hint of mockery.“ I didn't because I was so shocked when you grabbed me by my waist.” I defended, a deep frown settling on my face.“ Feisty type, huh? I like girls.” He smirked darkly and let go of my waist.Once he did, I felt cold air hit my waist as his warmth disappeared.“ Please let me go. I'm sure they are more beautiful and curvy in the whole of Italy.” I said, literally begging him.“ I know right. But they can't tame my demons the way you do.” He smirked and bent a little as he leaned closer to my ear.“ Don't yo
ALESSIA'S POV“Are you okay?” CeCe asked, her voice jotting me out of my thoughts.Hell, I wasn't okay at all, not when the devil himself was lurking around me.“ Yeah..yeah, I'm fine.” I took a sip from my wine, my legs coiling beneath me.I don't know what his gaze does to me, but it makes me melt even when I wasn't even touched.Nathaniel's gaze was on me and so was Cassius.I was between my college crush and the devil lurking in my life, but only his gaze burned me.“ Hey,” Nathaniel flashed me a cute smile as he sat beside me.I was so nervous that I felt my heart drumming against my ribcage.“ Hi,” I smiled nervously.My palms were already sweaty.“ It's been a while since we met. Hope you're good?” He asked and I nodded with a smile.Oh, how I wish to strike a conversation and talk like old days, but I couldn't, not when a certain eye was piercing me with his gaze.“ Yes, I am good. What about you?” I asked, flowing with the conversation.I was getting more and more comfortable
CASSIUS' POVAlessia was just too sexy to ignore.I couldn't take my eyes off her during the meetup, and damn! She was trying so hard to avoid my gaze.I loved the fact that she always blushed when her eyes meet mine, and when she concentrated more on her crush, I felt like killing him.It would take less than a few minutes to kill her crush and fuck her with his blood around my cock, but I wouldn't do that because of her.My jaw clenched and unclenched a thousand times as she tried so hard to concentrate on her crush, and when he said something funny, she laughed, causing me to fold my fists, my knuckles almost turning white.It was hard to control my demons, not when my woman was laughing at another man's joke.“ Look at me now.” I sent a text on my phone to hers, and when her phone dinged, I looked at her to see the expression on her beautiful dolled up face.She turned sharply to me, and cursed under her breath when she read the message.All I wanted was for her to stop laughing
ALESSIA'S POV“ You can do nothing to me, not when we are close to the VIP room.” I smirked, confident that he can't do anything to me, but I guess I was wrong. Totally wrong.“ You're wrong, Bunny, to think that I can't fuck you here.” He said, making me gulp.His hazel blue eyes looked like cider with flicks of spice.He was damn serious, and that made my nipples hard.“ Are you suddenly scared?” He let out a dark chuckle, his finger tip grazing my ear, sending shivers down my spine.“ Why would I be scared? I might be a virgin but I'm experienced.” I bragged.I knew that was not entirely true.I had always preserved my body until I get married to Lucas, but he cheated on me, so I have no reason to remain pure.“ I will be the one to deflower you.” Cassius leaned closer and kissed my eyes. “ It would be so thrilling to watch your hymen break and your blood smeared around my cock.”My blood turned cold as he spoke.Cassius wasn't joking, I could feel it. He meant every single word h
CASSIUS POVI wasn't the type to care about people or give a fuck about them, but I couldn't do that when it came to Alessia.Even if I want her so badly, I can't have her, at least not for now.I wasn't done yet.I will make sure to deal with her ex-fiance and her supposed best friend who betrayed her.They were also at the meet up and I studied them like a book.For her sake, I was going to burn down the whole world, and well, I will be starting with her fucking ex-fiance.I made sure she went home before driving back to the clan.“ Boss,” Dragon bowed, his head hung low.“ Any report from the prime minister?” I asked in my usual deep low voice.It's been a while since I was killed and I'm beginning to get thirsty for the sight of blood.“ No Boss, I think he knows that we are after him.” Dragon replied.“ He doesn't know who he is dealing with.” I deadpanned, a dark smirk gracing my lips.“ Prepare, tonight, I Cassius fucking Riven, will end his miserable life.” “ Okay, Boss.” Dra
ALESSIA'S POVI was turning from one end of the bed to another all through the night.I just couldn't get the scene from earlier in the dark room off my head.No matter how hard I tried to concentrate and sleep, the scene kept replaying, messing with my mind.“ You're such a fool, Alessia. Why would you let him finger fuck you? A stranger you know nothing other than his name? You're such a bitch!” I scolded myself inwardly, maybe, just maybe, I could get the scenes off my head.I knew nothing was going to stop him once he got determined, but I was also at fault, for letting my stubbornness and over curiosity get the best part of me.I challenged him, and the bastard was up for the challenge.“ Arghh!” I thrashed my legs in the air, when his face graced with a dark smirk flashed through my mind for the tenth time tonight.For heaven's sake, I had to sleep due to work tomorrow.At this rate, I might fall sick if I don't have a healthy sleep.After a few hours of rolling from one end of
ALESSIA'S POVMy throat bobbed as fear coursed through my body, my eyes still on the expressway, staring deep into his dark eyes.Nathaniel reached out to touch me, but I leaned back, avoiding his touch.Not because I didn't want him to hold me, but because I was afraid of the devil who stood in the dark, watching me with a deadly gaze.“ Are you okay, Alessia? You're sweating.” Nathaniel asked, worry etched on his face.“ Ye….yes…I'm fine.” I bobbed my head and swiped my tongue over my already dried lips.“ CeCe, take me home.” I mumbled, looking at CeCe who stopped eating with a frown on her face.“ Why? You've not touched your food.” “ I'm not hungry. I just want to go home.” I stood up, grabbed my bag ready to leave, but Nathaniel also stood up and held my hand, stopping me from leaving.“ Are you uncomfortable because of me?” He asked, staring deep into my eyes and I bit my lips. “ I can leave if you want.”“ No..no. Nathaniel. I'm not uncomfortable because of you. I'm just feel
ALESSIA'S POV Waking up, my head was throbbing so hard and my eyes was almost blinded by the bright light inside the room I was in.I blinked rapidly for few seconds, trying to register in my brain where I was currently.The room was painted in white and it smelled so much like an hospital.Oh, I was in an hospital?“ You're awake! Alessia, can you remember me?” A loud voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I turned to my left side only to see Aunty Lucy beside me with tears in her eyes.How did she know that I was shot and I was currently in the hospital?Shit! CeCe that blabbermouth!I forced a smile, as I tried to sit upright.“ No, no! Don't!” She stopped me from sitting upright.I looked around and saw my cousins, Elisa and Emma seated, their eyes on their phones.I was looking for Cassius, but he was nowhere to be found.Before I lost consciousness, I held onto him, hoping he won't leave me, but he did.After finding out from Cassius that the man who came to my room was his twin
CASSIUS POV My heart stopped at the sight in front of me.I couldn't think of see clear with the blood covered everywhere.My brain shut dead, when I saw Alessia lying in the pool of her own blood. Everything stopped.I couldn't drag my legs towards her, instead, I kept watching her in the pool of her own blood when Dragon and Banks already rushed to help stop the bleeding.They were all panicking which CeCe was crying her eyes out.Russius was laying dead on the ground.“ Brother!”“ Boss!” I could hear my name from distance as bothe Dragon and Banks kept calling my name, trying to snap me out of my frenzy.Banks suddenly rushed to me and shook me, only then, did I snap out of my frenzy, out of my thoughts, out of my dilemma.I rushed to Alessia who was still trying to remain awake.Her eyes were weak, and she immediately reached out to hold my hand.“ I….I might not survive….so always make sure to keep me in your heart…” she struggled to bring out those words.I shook my head.Eve
CASSIUS'S POV I thought that we've moved past that stage.The stage where my brother. My own fucking twin brother would come as a villain to torture me, all because he was sent away by our father.I could remember vividly well how it all happened.Russius, I and Banks were the closest brothers anyone could think of, but when it happened, our bond were severed.I was still thinking when the door to my room pushed open.“ Brother, what is going on?” Banks asked, his eyes hid fear.He was afraid of Russius and what he might do since he was back after so many years.He never showed up when I built my clan, why now if all time?“ Yes. Russius is back. He is with my woman now.” I said grabbing my gun from the drawer. “ I'm heading there.”“ I will come with you.” Bank said, but I frowned.“ Stay back! You don't know what he is capable of doing!”“ I won't! He is also my brother, our brother, so let me come along.” I sighed and walked out for the room fully armed with Banks behind me.Make
ALESSIA'S POV The art gala party came to an end soon, and I needed nothing more than to return home and explain the situation to Nathaniel.I can't accept his proposal no matter how hard I tried to convince myself.Cassius doesn't deserve me. He is douchebag, a psychopath, a Mafia lord whom I was supposed to stay away from.I hate that I'm pathetic and head over hills for a walking red flag like him.“ You've been quiet, Alessia. Is there a problem?” Nathaniel who was driving teacher his left hand to hold me, and I flinched at his touch.“ I'm fine.” I replied and bit my lips, until it was a bit swollen, before speaking up. “ I have something to say to you, Nathaniel. And I hope you won't take it the wrong way.”“ Okay, what is that? I'm all ears.” “ I will tell you when we are alone.” I replied and leaned back on the car's seat.I know that I might regret not accepting a good man like Nathaniel, but my heart was already made up.Cassius or no one.Moreover, he is the father of my u
CASSIUS'S POVI admit that I was in the wrong for not letting Alessia know about my current situation and the engagement between myself and Adeline, but she took it extremely too far, that I could barely contain my anger.I felt like snapping Nathaniel's head off his neck. Fuck! I don't care if he was my close friend or not.I hate my woman being next to another man other than me, let alone being hold by the waist by someone else, other than me.Nathaniel was invited to the Art gala, that, I was aware of.But what I never knew, was the fact that he brought Alessia and also CeCe, her best friend with him.When our eyes met, I wanted to stride towards her and engulf her into my arms, and then proceed to give her theost warm kiss ever.I have missed Alessia so badly, that I kept having wet dreams at night.I missed her pussy, her lips, her nipples, her breasts and every fucking part of her body.How I wish I could throw her up my shoulder and kidnapped her to my mansion in an island, whe
ALESSIA’S POV The kiss didn't lasted for over a minute before I broke it.It didn't taste like him. Cassius.Cassius has a minty scent, and the way he deep-throats me, I so much love it.But that didn't apply with Nathaniel. He just kissed me back like the gentleman that he was.It wasn't so surprising that I wasn't into gentlemen.I want my man rough and domineering. I want to cower and beg under his touch. I want to be tied with leash and tortured until I can't feel my legs anymore.It's weird to say, but I love it the way Cassius does with me.Once the kiss was broken, Nathaniel flashed me a smile and bit his lips.I immediately felt guilty. I felt guilty for leading him on to a relationship with no future, for using his feelings for me to get a reaction from a certain person.“ I'm sorry.” I muttered but he smiled.“ It's fine. Is that a yes to my proposal?” He asked and I gulped, dragging my eyes towards Cassius who was shooting lasers from his eyes at me, then back at Nathanie
ALESSIA POVI felt pain in my chest at the sight.He wanted to kill every men who looked at me at the Art gala, yet, he wasn't ready to make me his, fully.If he had loved me, he wouldn't be getting married to someone else.I felt a fist-sized lump lodged at my throat. It was a bitter and painful taste.I took a deep breath, and relaxed in Nathaniel's arm.If this is how he wanted to play his games, I'm in for it. Fully in.As we approached them, I smiled– a pretentious one.“ Hey, What's up?” Nathaniel stretched his hand forward for an handshake, but Cassius ignored him, his eyes on me, but I didn't want to look at him straight in the eyes.Every cold wall I built around my heart could collapse if I look at him.The lady by his side nudged at him, and only then did he accept the handshake from Nathaniel–reluctanly.“ I never expected you at such a place,” Nathaniel chuckled. “ It doesn't suit your personality.”“ I forced him to come with me. You know, we will be getting married soon
ALESSIA’S POV My fingers grazed at the beautiful gown sent to me by Nathaniel.It was almost time for him to pick me up, but I feel like I'm cheating on Cassius, for some goddamn reason.His words came fresh into my head.‘ Only I can see you looking so pretty. You should never let any other man other than me see your cleavages.’But now, another man, In Fact, a lot of people would be seeing that tonight.“ Are you ready, Alessia? It's almost time!” CeCe shouted from downstairs, snapping me out of my thoughts.I cleared my throat and took down the dress from the hanger.I slowly took off my clothes and put on the dress, checking myself out in the dressing mirror.The dress fitted perfectly, as if Nathaniel knew my size.“ It's beautiful.” I forced a smile, wore the shoes and did some light make-up to cover my dark circles and sad features.Without the makeup, I would look nothing short of a ghost.A virgin ghost, yo be precise.I haven't had a good sleep for a while now, and dark cir
ALESSIA'S POV He didn't call back or even as much sent a text.I was supposed to have given up and try to move on, but I can't. I couldn't.It even got worse, as he is everywhere around me and even in my head.The bastard keep dominating my thoughts and making me hallucinate.Sometimes, CeCe would think that I was mentally unstable. It was all because of Cassius Fucking Riven.He was slowly turning me into a mentally deranged person. A crazy bitch in love.What more can I say?It wasn't as if I can control my heart and stop it from longing for him and my brain for thinking about him.They are out of my control now.I rolled from one fucking end of the bed to another. Shit! Another sleepless night. Another day of head ache and puffy eyes.I was supposed to pull myself together. To think about my future without Him.But I couldn't, instead, I continued weeping like a child whose parents died during the night when everyone was asleep.I bet I didn't cry as much as I did now, when my ad
